Migrating a physical machine over to a vbox

Post by be_mart »

Hi, I've setup a ubuntu 8.04 in VirtualBox and runs well.

I've got a mail server postfix+amavisd+spam assassin+postgrey+mysql etc running on a fedora core 8 for some time now and just for portability sake, I'd like to migrate everything in there to the Ubuntu box. Is this easily done first of all? And please provide some tips here.

Or, would installing a fedora core 8 on a new VirtualBox image and then doing a complete copy from the / folder in the mail server physical machine work better?

Please provide some pointers.... as reinstalling and configuring everything will not work for me...
